There's a new Apple "text bomb", which can cause an iPhone or even a Mac to crash and in this particular instance, the text is shared in the form of a website link on iMessage.

The bug can be activated on somebody's device by simply sending them a message containing a link, which is included in Masri's tweet.

It's also possible for chaiOS to wreak havoc with macOS, as there are reports of it crashing the Safari web browser. "My main objective was to reach out to Apple and say, 'Hey, you've been ignoring my bug reports.' I always report the bug before releasing something". Describing how it worked in a blog at the time (translated into English), he wrote: "When your victim clicks on the message, their Messages app will attempt to load a large amount of data". Worst of all, the harmful link will lead to a crash or freeze even if you leave it alone and never actually tap on it. When the link to the page is sent, the iMessage generates a preview on the receiving device, which is when the problems begin. Despite this action, Masri maintains that users might not be safe from the link as anyone can access his GitHub account and possibly disseminate it. According to the experts at Yalu Jailbreak, the bug affects iMessage apps on macOS High Sierra, iOS 10 to 10.3.3, and iOS 11 to 11.2.1.

He claimed Apple needed to "take such bugs more seriously", in a series of tweets detailing the flaw, dubbed chaiOS.
